[[AC:Ummagumma (1967)]]
* The entire live half of Ummagumma is an absolutely fantastic journey into what Pink Floyd shows were like in their psychedelic years (particularly for those too young to have actually experienced it [[{{Pun}} in the flesh]]). All four songs are superbly done, but "A Saucerful of Secrets" in particular is utterly sublime.

** "Echoes" is the greatest song written. The reprise and the release, the band jam with the two guitar solos in a row, the whale song. Just unbelievable.
** Hell, even the intro. Just hearing the empty, ethereal ''ping...ping...'' leading into the main theme, you know you're in for something truly epic. The fact that Floyd created such an atmosphere with a single repeated note is proof of their greatness. (Especially Wright's greatness, as he came up with the intro. He wasn't as visible as Waters or Gilmour, but his contributions were nonetheless vital.)

There's so much emotion in some of these songs that it hurts, and this album should never be overlooked.
* For fans of Floyd's early period, there's ''The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn''. 42 minutes of prime space rock/psychedelia, including "Astronomy Domine", "Lucifer Sam", "Take Up Thy Stethoscope And Walk", "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Bike". Not to mention the singles, "Arnold Layne" and "See Emily Play", that were spawned during this period.
* The initial appearance of the four-note guitar motif in "Shine on You Crazy Diamond".
** All of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", more like. Especially when it goes "[=SHIiINE=] ON YOU CRAAAAAZY [=DIiIiAmond=]"

[[AC:Dark Side of the Moon (1973)]]

If you had to narrow Pink Floyd's awesome output down to one album, it'd be ''Dark Side of the Moon'', their most critically acclaimed and commercially successful work. It was on the Billboard Top 200 for ''fifteen years'' and would have re-entered the chart again had Billboard not changed the rules to prevent that (instead, it remains a mainstay of their "Catalog" chart). When they changed their rules in 2009 to allow catalog albums and re-entries into the Billboard Top 200, ''Dark Side of the Moon'' re-entered the chart a few weeks later and has popped in here and there ever since.

Leaving aside the fact that this is about as zero context as Zero Context Examples can get (JUST the album name?? Not even as part of a sentence?? It doesn\'t matter how awesome you think it is, that does NOT speak for itself), there are already multiple tracks from \"The Wall\" mentioned on this page, and the album itself is linked from several of them.

"Wish You Were Here", "Dark Side of the Moon" and "Meddle" are particularly well put together. ''Music/TheWall'' is awesome in its own way too, as is ''Animals''.

* Being more of an album man myself, this troper believes that sitting Sitting down and listening to a Pink Floyd album from start to finish almost always counts as Awesome Music. ''Wish "Wish You Were Here'', ''Dark Here", "Dark Side of the Moon'' Moon" and ''Meddle'' "Meddle" are particularly well put together. ''Music/TheWall'' is awesome in its own way too, as is ''Animals''. Some may find ''The Final Cut'' fits into this category.
* Also, quite Quite a few tracks off ''The Division Bell''. High Hopes "High Hopes" is mesmerisingly beautiful, and Poles Apart "Poles Apart" and Coming "Coming Back to Life Life" are awesome too. There's so much emotion in some of these songs that it hurts, and this troper has always been annoyed that this album gets should never be overlooked.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQvG2SMVl84 "One of These Days"]], anyone? The bass line is simple yet haunting, and the slide guitar jam in the second half is icing on the cake. This is the reason why ''Meddle'' is one of my favorite albums.
* It doesn't matter how many times I hear it, "Another Brick in the Wall (Part II)" will always kick major ass. ALWAYS.
*** At exactly the 2:49 mark is one the most amazing note bends in musical history. Just that 5 seconds there is one the finest moments in music

* ''A Momentary Lapse of Reason'' gets a lot of flak - most of which is completely unjustified, as the album is brilliant. Highlights include the aforementioned "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSXJMBvvWHQ&feature=related Learning to Fly]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7UCRa9wRFlg&feature=related Yet Another Movie]] + [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fT0NEhl5-Q&feature=related Round and Around]]", "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef7_H4VGuIw&feature=related Terminal Frost]]" and "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijUCwQru9is&feature=related Sorrow]]".
* If you had to narrow it down to one album, it'd be ''Dark Side of the Moon'', their most critically acclaimed and commercially successful work. It was on the Billboard Top 200 for ''fifteen years'' and would have re-entered the chart again had Billboard not changed the rules to prevent that (instead, it remains a mainstay of their "Catalog" chart). When they changed their rules in 2009 to allow catalog albums and re-entries into the Billboard Top 200, ''Dark Side of the Moon'' re-entered the chart a few weeks later and has popped in here and there ever since.
